[PATCH] net/ionic: fix double-free of mbufs when emptying array

[PATCH] net/ionic: fix double-free of mbufs when emptying array

[Andrew Boyer]

The bulk-allocation array is used back to front, so we need to free
everything before the marker, not after it. Flip ionic_empty_array()
so that it frees from 0 to the provided index. Adjust the callers
as needed.

Applied to dpdk-next-net/main, thanks.
